Eagle Bluff is one of four coastal sites south of Denham. It is located in the UNESCO Shark Bay World Heritage Area, 22 km from Denham.

From high cliffs and 400 metre boardwalk overlooking Denham Sound, we spotted lots of marine and bird life here. Keep your eyes out for ospreys, dugongs, dolphins, sharks and rays.

Camping at Eagle Bluff is located 2 km down the 4 km access track to the board walk on your right hand side. It is one night only at this pristine location and there are no amenities.

All four sites, including Fowlers Camp, Whalebone Bay and Goulet Bluff are accessible via 2WD vehicles on unsealed roads, however, caution is advised. Please drive to conditions and take care in larger vehicles.

There is a maximum four cars per campsite, bookings are taken on a first come, first serve basis.
